Application filed September 2, 1927. Serial No. 217,029.

This invention pertains to holsters, and more particularly to pistolholsters.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide a holster with. asupport for suspending the same from a belt, such that, the

holster may be mounted on the belt or removed therefrom withoutremovingv or loosening the belt.

Further objects will appear from the followingdescript-ion, taken inconnection with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a pistolholster embodying this invention.

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates the body of the holster, whichmay be of any suitable design and construction. The upper part of theholster is provided with a flap 2,

which is turned downwardly so as to form a loop adapted to receive thebelt. The lower end of the flap 2 is provided with a strap 3,

which passes around the holster body so as to embrace the same snuglyand secure the lower end of the flap 2. The strap 3 is divided so as toform, in effect, two straps joined at their middle point by a fastener4. A snap fastener is shown at 4 in the drawing, al-

though a buckle or other suitable fastening may be used.

It will be seen that this invention provides a holster of simpleconstruction, which may be mounted on the belt by simply opening thefastener 4 so as to detach the strap 3 from the body 1, and then passingthe flap 2 behind the belt and again securing the strap 3 around thebody. The holster may, of course, be removed by reversing theaboveoperations.

It is obvious that various changes may be made, within the scope of theappended claims, in the details of construction without departing fromthe spirit of this invention.

It is, therefore, to be understood that this invention is not limited tothe specific details shown and described.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
